ST. JAMES AND ST. JOSEPH

We are pleased to announce the return to public Masses. On June 14, there will be an 8:00 Mass at St. James, and a 10:00 Mass at St. Joseph. Churches can have up to 25% their capacity. At St. James, the Mass will be streamed to the basement to allow for additional capability. Guidelines for the return to these public Masses are available here and will be posted on our Facebook pages. We are happy to welcome you back to the celebration of the Mass in this limited way. We anticipate the return of Saturday Masses when Father Santy returns and is able to celebrate Mass.

ALL SAINTS/ST.MARY/HOLY TRINITY

All Saints and St. Mary Glenmore will be returning to public Mass on Saturday June 13 and Sunday June 14. We will resume with our normal Mass schedule of:

4:00 pm Saturday Mass at All Saints

8:30 am Sunday Mass at St. Mary Glenmore

10:30 am Sunday Mass at All Saints

We will fall under the same 25% attendance restriction as the other parishes in the Diocese. Please be patient with us as we move ahead again into a new transition to the Holy Mass.WHEN I WAS HUNGRY YOU GAVE ME TO EAT

The Denmark Community Cupboard has a new webpage, "Denmark Community Cupboard". You can read what they are all about and check out the various ways to donate. Many events that would have included food collections have been cancelled so now your monetary donations are needed more than ever. Funds raised are used to buy bread, eggs, milk and fresh fruit and vegetables to add to the canned and dry foods. You can also mail donations to P.O. Box 283, Denmark WI 54208, or All Saints has forms at their entrances to set up automatic monthly contributions. Please call All Saints Parish office at 863-5256 or Diane Steinberger at 863-8388 with questions. All Saints, Holy Trinity and St. James Parishes are represented along with other local churches and civic organizations on the Board of Directors. Thank you so very much for all your past donations and continued support of this very worthwhile and much needed community outreach.

UNIVERSAL ONLINE CHURCH SUPPORT

A new, easy and safe way to contribute to any Circle of Faith Parish is now an option with a credit card. The Green Bay Diocese through its Catholic Foundation has made this method available. You can give a one-time donation or recurring payments. When you visit the secured giving page www.catholicfoundationgb.org/donate all you have to do is enter your information, parish name, and gift amount. Any credit card or debit card will be accepted. It's so easy! The Catholic Foundation will mail the parish a check each week for the full amount—without any fee to you or the parish. Now, more than ever, we are grateful for your support!

Bishop’s Appeal

The 2020 Bishop’s Appeal is in it’s final push, as our promotion will end on June 30. Thank you to all the donors who have contributed to ensure that the services and ministries of the diocese can continue in the coming year. However, since only Holy Trinity Parish has reached their obligatory goal, we are hoping and praying that more of you will donate what you can in this final month. Each parish is responsible to pay any shortfall in their goal.

The average gift to the Bishop’s Appeal in 2019 was $211.00. Through prayerful consideration, we encourage everyone to consider what they can contribute this year. To make a gift , you can contact your parish, visit the Bishop’s Appeal website at www.catholicfoundationgb.org/give, or call Tammy toll-free at 877-500-3580 ext. 8123.
